Sugar gliders need a very carefully balanced diet — the BML diet is recommended by vets.
Sugar gliders need a precise calcium-to-phosphorus ratio to prevent metabolic bone disease. Most vets recommend the BML (Bourbon's Modified Leadbeater's) diet. Avoid high-oxalate and high-phosphorus foods. Fresh fruit is great but in moderation only.
